HID ballast mounting

[Carl]

One of my Christmas presents will be a set of Les Wassal's HID converted DEs.

What I would like to know is where have people with similar set-ups mounted the ballasts? I already have 2 ballasts under the beak for the dip and main beam and the bike (1150) has ABS so no space there.

I know there is a nice bracket for the 1200, but I'm not aware of anything similar yet for the 1150.

I don't have one at the moment (My bike is not at home at the moment)but if you want to fit them by your self I dont think is a big engineery,Get same velcro sticky think and tied them up properly under neath of the old ones and job done I guess ,But I have 3 of them on the line under neath of the beck and one under the speedometer 100%

Thanks for the suggestions. Will see if I can fit 2 into the steering head cavity.

Some kind of bracket/shelf fastened to the oil cooler mount bolts would be good, has anyone made anything like this?
